President Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a "dictator" in a Truth Social post while heading to a golf course in Miami. This response followed Zelensky's comments about Trump being influenced by Russian disinformation. Zelensky was elected in 2019, but his planned 2024 election has been delayed due to martial law amid the ongoing war with Russia. White House staff reportedly feel frustrated with Zelensky's remarks, believing they hinder peace efforts. Trump has claimed he is uniquely positioned to negotiate an end to the war, despite recent comments from his administration suggesting concessions to Russia. Negotiations are ongoing, but Zelensky was not included in discussions about Ukraine's future.
